​3D Printing Course: 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing (Sep)

Published on: 06-Aug-2018

Introduction

In 2017, the Singapore government and EDB announced their Industry 4.0 strategy. The Industry 4.0 strategy includes identifying technologies like Additive Manufacturing (AM), or more popularly known as 3D printing, as having the capabilities to help manufacturers transition from a value-add model to a value creation model.

Additive Manufacturing is defined as the process of joining materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer by layer, as opposed to subtractive and formative manufacturing methodologies. 3D printing processes offers many advantages, including producing complex geometric models or features that would be difficult or expensive to machine with conventional manufacturing. (e.g. a sphere in a thin-necked bottle, straight corners in pockets in typical engineering components or a small intricate jewellery ring) The 3D printing process also eliminates the need for jigs and fixtures.

3D printing has the potential to produce components in a short turnaround time as the 3D printing process is digitally linked to CAD/CAM systems. As a result, it is a tool well-suited for the current trend of manufacturing products with short product life.

In 2014, Dr Chua was elected as the top scientist in his research field of AM by Clarivate Analytics, and has maintained his position since then. As at 2018, he has contributed more than 300 technical papers in local seminars, technical talks, international conferences and journals, generating more than 8800 citations and a H index of 47 (web of science).

He is also the co-author for four books, “3D Printing and Additive Manufactuing: Principles & Applications in Manufacturing (5th edition)”, "Bioprinting: Principles and Applications", “Standards, Quality Control and Measurement Sciences in 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing” and “Lasers in 3D Printing and Manufacturing.

The SkillsFuture course, 3D Printing and Rapid Product Development, has been discontinued from 1 July 2018 onwards. Please note that the current course, 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing: Principles and Applications is conducted by the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, and is not affiliated with SkillsFuture Singapore. SkillsFuture subsidies and training grants are not applicable for this course. Thank you for your understanding.
